To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

XV, a 15–amino acid human-derived peptide that safely kills fungi causing keratitis, promotes corneal healing, resists drug ...

A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and ...

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the ...

T cell immunotherapies are on the cutting-edge of cancer treatments, but a full understanding of how they work has been ...

Ryan Notti (left) and Thomas Walz (right) discovered new characteristics of a T cell receptor that are essential to a variety ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...
